Mike Vrabel honors Bum Phillips by wearing cowboy hat to Texans game

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel honored former Oilers head coach Bum Phillips by wearing a cowboy hat prior to the game against the Texans.

The Tennessee Titans are wearing their Houston Oilers throwbacks for the Week 15 game against the Houston Texans, but head coach Mike Vrabel is taking it one step further.

During the week, Vrabel was asked if he would wear a cowboy hat to honor former Oilers head coach Bum Phillips. Vrabel wouldn’t say one way or the other if he would, but thankfully he has indeed decided to.

It remains to be seen if Vrabel will actually wear the hat during the game, but he was sporting the legendary head gear upon arriving for the contest against Houston. Check out the video below.

As if wearing Oilers throwbacks wasn’t triggering enough for Texans and Houston sports fans in general, seeing Vrabel rock that hat is going to send them through the roof.

The Titans and Texans will meet at Nissan Stadium on Sunday, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. EST.
